Dump trucks off the West Nyack and Haverstraw faces
West Nyack Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 5.2 miles north-west of Piermont, is the closest pit to the village. A tri-axle or tandem dump that has hauled aggregate from it is often parked at a contractor’s yard rather than at the owner’s house, so give us that yard’s address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Further up the river at 9.4 miles due north, Haverstraw Quarry & Mill appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry. If your truck carried stone from Haverstraw, photograph the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab, and keep the registration and the title in one envelope for the day we collect.
Both pits sit inland of the Palisades shoreline that Piermont faces. A dump body bolted to the chassis stays with the truck when we buy it, so tell us its length and maker when you first write so the description matches what arrives at the pickup.
Westchester bank yards
Rail yards at Croton-on-Hudson
On the far bank, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Harmon Shops 10.5 miles north of Piermont. Trucks that service track and yard equipment, from boom trucks to crew cabs with tool bodies, carry upfits we want described; name each one and say whether it is fixed to the frame.
North Croton, a second yard in the North American Rail Network, lies 11.6 miles north. A truck kept on the Westchester side does not need to cross back over the river for us to see it. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and a contact at the yard, and we arrange the collection on that side of the Hudson.
Fuel rigs on the Westmore and Sprague runs
Thirteen-point-four miles east of the village, the Energy Information Administration lists Westmore Fuels as a petroleum product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Westmore Fuel Co at that distance as a liquid bulk terminal. A tank truck or fuel-oil delivery rig loading there should come with its tank inspection records and any hazmat placard paperwork, kept with the title.
To the south, a Bronx petroleum product terminal sits 16.3 miles away on Energy Information Administration lists, and Sprague, a liquid bulk terminal, is 16.5 miles off according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor pulled a tanker into those sites, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you, so each piece is described on its own.
Down in Yonkers
A duplicate certificate from the Larkin Plaza counter
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles handles truck titles here, and it lists its YONKERS office at 1 LARKIN PLZ, YONKERS, 7.4 miles from Piermont. If the certificate is missing, the department’s replace-a-title process at its DMV offices is where to start, and we can wait while the duplicate is on its way.
Have the registration and your photo ID ready when you go, plus any lien release if the truck was ever financed. A title held in a company name needs the signature of someone authorised to sign for that company, so check who that is before the pickup is booked.
Inside the village
Contractors and honey farms around the village
In 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put work in Piermont at 394 positions, a small base for a riverfront village. Trucks that work here tend to belong to one owner or a small outfit, and a single-truck seller needs the same short list as a fleet: title, registration, keys and a few clear photos.
For the Hudson-side building trade, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns shows six construction establishments working out of the Piermont area. Pickups with plow mounts, flatbeds and small dumps from that trade are on our list too, and a truck sitting on a residential street in Piermont can be collected from the curb if you tell us where it is parked.
Rockland County has 18 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and honey is the top product it names there. A box truck or flatbed used for hives or market runs is a truck we purchase; mention any lift gate or racking so it is in the description from the start.
New York’s clean truck regulations, on hold
New York adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation through its Department of Environmental Conservation, and enforcement is paused. A Piermont owner selling a diesel tractor or straight truck now does not need to settle anything under that rule before the sale.
The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation is also in New York’s rules, and its enforcement is likewise paused. For a seller on the Rockland side of the river, the documents that matter remain the title, the registration and the truck’s own service history.
The questions we get asked in Piermont
- My tri-axle sits beside West Nyack Quarry; does it have to come down to the Piermont waterfront first?West Nyack Quarry is 5.2 miles north-west of Piermont in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from wherever the truck sits. Name the lot and who can let our driver through on the quarry road.
- Which DMV counter closest to Piermont reissues a missing truck title?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 1 LARKIN PLZ, YONKERS is 7.4 miles from the village, and the department replaces title certificates through its DMV offices. Start that before we book the pickup.
- Does the paused clean truck rule affect selling my diesel in Rockland County?Enforcement of New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation is paused, as is the HD Omnibus rule. A Rockland seller brings the title, registration and keys, and nothing under either regulation.
- I drove a tanker into the Westmore terminal. Is that Westmore-run tractor something you would collect?Westmore Fuels, 13.4 miles east of Piermont on Energy Information Administration lists, is a petroleum product terminal, and tractors that served it are trucks we buy. Send its VIN with cab and fifth-wheel photos from the Piermont side.
